We live in a spot that's right next to a major river, so we get to see allllllll sorts of wildlife- including the rare and majestic bald eagle!
Tonight I was standing outside chatting with my FIL when I caught movement in my peripheral vision and turned just in time to see a massive bird with a white head fly up into one of our trees. I think I almost gave my FIL a heart attack lol OMG!! There's a bald eagle up there!!!! [emoji33] and then another came.... OMMMMMGGG there's TWO!!
I took off faster than a jack rabbit with a fire under its butt to run and grab my camera-- thank goodness they stayed put!
Last summer we got pictures of two bald eagles- one was clearly a juvenile, and one of these appeared to be a very young adult who maybe just got his adult plumage -I'm not quite sure, but that's my assumption. He seemed quite unsure, uneasy, and stressed about his situation while the other (the mother I'm assuming) seemed calm and collected.
